why didn;t it work for meeee

[@obilormacgeorge9378]

I tried this and my touchpad stopped working please help

[@noizuchi8020]

For me it just shows description, usage, options like a guide. I suspect this command is not working for my pc. Also it told me: sc config [service name] ... Weirdd if you could help me, I'm forever grateful and will subscribe 🙏

[@mohdalhapizabhalim5215]

Can you help me with this question, how am I going to turn my laptop on, after I disable permanently my laptop's keyboard..maybe it's sound stupid for some, but I'm not an IT guy...please help

[@ounissimohamed12345]

[@mohdalhapizabhalim5215]

@@ounissimohamed12345 Thanks man.. really appreciate it.

I did not understand this video at all. The instructions aren't clear. What command did you type to disable the keyboard before restarting it?

[@kiranjose7230]

Commands??where is that

[@catonmahkeybord5967]

should be called windows powershell

[@steveinfrance6159]

None of this works. Also using the sc config cmd also disables Bluetooth. Trying to substitue a false driver also doesn't work. Win 10 obligingly restores the correct driver. The simplest solution is to prise up the keyboard and disconnect its ribbon cable. Windows can't see that the keyboard is disconnected and it is absolutely dead.

[@timspark_jt]

😂😂😂... I think I'm gonna follow this suggestion you've given. Cos I'm tired of this keyboard. All solutions prescribed haven't worked. Either it turns of my mouse function or one other vital setting is altered.

Same Have you found another solution?

[@potatotomato9302]

[@ahtrap7]

[@sdadsadasdasdads7551]

You prob didn’t run as an administrator when I diidnt it gave me access denied but once I did it worked booting my pc rn to see if it works still imma let you know

[@sdadsadasdasdads7551]

It worked it canceled my keyboard

[@sdadsadasdasdads7551]

Just make sure you don’t just open command prompt make sure you run it as admin and when you do that it should can legit say it just worked for me rn
